TRANSPORT WORKERS UNION
The Transport Workers Union was first organized in New York in
1934. Since then it has become an international nnion with locals in
various parts of the United States, Canada, and Alaska. Its main
strength, however, remains in New York. Its total dues-paying
membership, according to official claims, is about 90,000. The union
is at present affiliated with the C. I. O.
The Transport Workers Union was in the beginning an independ-
ent body. In 1935, its leaders sought affiliation with the Amalga-
mated Association of Street, Electric Railway and Motor Coach
Employees of America, but the latter union suspected Quill, Hogan,
and Santo of being Communists and their request for affiliation was
rejected. (See Exhibit No. 1.)
Concerning the next effort of the Transport Workers Union to
find an affiliation, the bulletin of the Amalgamated Association of
Street, Electric Railway and Motor Coach Employees has the follow-
ing to say :
Next the Transport Workers commissars tried to affiliate with the New York
lodge of the International Association of Machinists. Apparently the New
York Machinists knew too much about the set-up, for they turned Quill down.
(See Exhibit No. 1.)
Later, Quill and his associates were able to obtain a charter for
affiliation from the international headquarters of the Internationa]
Association of Machinists in Washington and thus to enter the ranks
of the American Federation of Labor. (See Exhibit No. 2.)
OFFICERS OF THE TRANSPORT WORKERS UNION
Among the principal officials of the Transport Workers Union,
almost from the time of its formation, were Michael J. Quill, Austin
Hogan, John Santo, and Thomas H. O'Shea. These four made the
trip to Detroit in 1935 for the purpose of seeking affiliation with the
Amalgamated Association of Street, Electric Railway and Motor
Coach Employes.
THOMAS H. o'SHEA
The first president of the Transport Workers Union was one Thomas
H. O'Shea. (See Exhibit No. 3.) In April 1940 O'Shea appeared
as a witness before the Special Committee on un-American Activities.
He testified that he had been a member of the Communist Party,
having joined at the time the Transport Workers Union was being
formed. According to O'Shea, he was appointed to the presidency
of the union by the Communist Party and was not elected by the
1621
1622 UN-AMERICAX PROPAGANDA ACTIVITIES
membership of the organization. "V^Hiien Michael J. Quill was a wit-
ness before the Special Committee on un-American Activities he testi-
fied that O'Shea had been his predecessor in the presidency of the
union but that he, Quill, ^Yas the first elected president of the
organization.
O'Shea testified that he had been asked to step out of the presidency
of the union by the Communist Party in order that Quill might be
elected in his place. This was partially confirmed by Quill, who
declared that he had been unopposed for the office at the time of his
election in December 1935.
The new weekly magazine, Friday, which made its first appearance
on March 15, 1940, leans strongly toward the Communist Party "line."
This fact is evidenced by the magazine's announcement (March 22,
1940, p. 22) that two of its cartoonists of whom it is "pretty proud"
are Fred Ellis and Bill Gropper. Both Ellis and Gropper have been
well known as Communist cartoonists for many years. Their work
has appeared regularly in the Daily Worker, the New Masses, and
other party publications. Ruth McKenney, one of the editors of the
New Masses, contributed a eulogistic article on Michael Quill and the
Transport Workers Union in the March 22 issue of Friday (see
pp. 9-11 of that issue). Among other things, Miss McKenney wrote:
"Michael Joseph Quill, first and only president of the Transport
Workers Union, etc., etc." The complete refutation of Miss
McKenney's characterization of Quill as the "first and only president
of the Transport Workers Union" is to be found not only in the fact
that O'Shea's name appears as president of the union on the mem-
bership books of 1935 (see Exhibit No. 3) but also in the bulletins of
the union. In the Transport Workers Bulletin (July 1935, p. 1), a
picture of O'Shea was puljlished with the following characterization :
"Tom O'Shea, fighting president of the T. W. U." (See Exhibit
No. 4.)
In the Daily Worker for April 24, 1940, officials of the Transport
Workers Union in New York are quoted as saying of O'Shea that
"the company stooge was defeated when he ran for reelection" (see
Exhibit No. 5) as president of tlie union. Quill himself has since
stated under oath that O'Shea did not run for reelection against him
in December 1935. Furthermore, it is clear that O'Shea was not
re])udiated by his union at that time inasmuch as his name appears
subsequently as one of the union's business agents in the Trans]:>ort
Workers Bulletin. (See Exhibit No. 2.)
In short, the record clearly establishes O'Shea's competence as a wit-
ness concerning the Communist control of the Transport Workers
Union.
JOHN SANTO
In 1936 John Santo was one of the business agents of the Transport
Workers Union. Today he is the secretary-treasurer of the union. It
goes without saying that this is one of the key positions in any labor
organization.
Santo has been identified as a member of the Communist Party by the
following witnesses who have appeared before the Special Committee
on Un-American Activities : John J. Murphy (hearings, p. 1044) : Ed-
ward Maguire (hearings, p. 1069) ; William Harmon (hearings, p.
APPENDIX PART V 1623
1059) ; Laurence Barron (hearings, p. 1073) ; Michael J. McCarthy
(hearings, p. 1079) ; and Thomas H. O'Shea (hearings not yet printed).
All of these men, with the exception of McCarthy, were formerly mem-
bers of the Communist Party, and each testified that he had sat in meet-
ings of the party with Santo. McCarthy testified that Santo had solicit-
ed him to join the Communist Party.
Santo is linked, by documentary evidence, with the Communist Party.
In the Daily Worker, May 1, 1934, Santo wrote an article on the newly
formed union of transport employees. (See Exhibit No. 6.) Among
other things, Santo wrote in the Daily Worker :
The building of this new union is of the greatest importance to all oth(>r trade
unions, as well as to the whole working class. First of all, it is a key industry,
without which all other industries would be paralyzed. (See Exhibit No. G.)
In the Daily Worker, June 11, 1934, Santo's name appeared as a mem-
ber of a protest delegation from the Trade Union Unity Council to the
German consulate iiVNew York. The Trade Union Unity Council was
a body of local unions under the complete control of the Communist
Party. It was a part of the movement known as the Trade Union
Unity League, which was, in turn, affiliated with the Red International
of Labor Unions. At the head of the international body of Communist-
controlled unions was A, Lozovsky, with headquarters in Moscow. At
the head of the Trade Union Unity League v^^as William Z. Foster,
chairman of the Communist Party of the United States. Others with
Santo in the delegation of the Trade Union Unity Council which vis-
ited the German consulate were Sam Nesin, Communist Party func-
tionary of New York, and Charlotte Todes, also a Communist Party
functionary and wife of Bemhard J. Stern, who was a Columbia Uni-
versity prcjfessor using the alias Bennett Stevens. (See hearings, p.
4929. ) The purpose of the visit of the Trade Union Unity Council del-
egation to the German consulate was to demand that the German Gov-
ernment free from prison the German Communist leader, Ernst Thael-
mann. (See Exhibit No. 7.)
In the 1937 Yearbook of the Ohio Communist Party, the name of
John Santo appeared on the honor roll. ( See Exhibit No. 8. ) Accord-
ing to the testimony of Laurence Barron before the Special Committee
on Un-American Activities, Santo came from Ohio and was a candidate
for office in that State in 1932 on the Communist Party ticket. (See
hearings, p. 1073.)
The Special Committee on Un-American Activities has in its pos-
session a docinnent entitled "District Two — Control Tasks Adopted
at Enlarged District Meeting, March 8, 1936." "District Two*' is
the designation given by the Communist Party to its New York
Division. On page 7 of this document the name of Santo appeared
as "District Rep" (meaning district representative) for section 22
of the Communist Party, district 2. (See Exhibit No. 9.)
AUSTIN HOGAN
In 1936 Austin Hogan was general secretary of the Transport
Workers Lodge, International Association of Machinists. (See Ex-
hibit No. 2.) Today he is the president of the New York local
of the Transport Workers LTnion, the local which comprises the
large part of the entire membership of the union. Hogan's name
was originally Gustav Dilloughry.
1624 UN-AMERICAX PROPAGANDA ACTIVITIES
Hogan has been identified as a member of the Communist Party
by John J. Murphy (hearings, p. 1044) and Thomas H. O'Shea
(hearings, not yet printed).
In the Daily Worker for June 1, 1934, there appeared an article
which was subcaptioned "1,000 Workers Bid Irish Communist Leader
Adieu," (See Exhibit No, 10.) Among the participants on the
program of this farewell meeting for the Irish Communist leader
were Earl Browder, James AV. Ford, Charles Krumbein, Mike Gold,
and Austin Hogan. Browder, Ford, Krumbein, and Gold are
among the outstanding Communist leaders in the United States.
MICHAEL JOSEPH QUILL
Michael Quill was elected president of the Transport Workers
Union in December 1935 after O'Shea had been instructed by the
Communist Party leaders to withdraw in order that Quill might
be chosen head of the union without opposition. Quill has remained
in the presidency of the union until the present time.
John J. Murphy testified before the Special Committee on Un-
American Activities, as follows:
I sat in unit 19-S meetings of the Communist Party with INIr. Michael Quill,
and knew him for years before as station agent on the lines of the Interborough
Rapid Transit Co. (hearings, p. 1044).
Edward Maguire's testimony before the Special Committee on
Un-American Activities included the following with reference to
Michael Quill :
Mr. Starnes. Have you collected dues from all those you have called here?
Mr. Maguiee. Yes, sir.
Mr. Starnes. Were they members of your unit?
Mr. Maguire. Yes, sir ; of the unit known as 19-S.
Mr. Thomas. Then do I understand you collected dues from Michael J.
Quill?
Mr. Maguiee. Yes, sir.
Mr. Starnes. You say you were secretary-treasurer of that unit?
Mr. Maguire. The unit known as 19-S (hearings, p. 1009).
Michael Kelly testified that Michael Quill asked him to join the
Communist Party and to attend the Communist Party's Workers
school at oO East Thirteenth Street, New York, N. Y. (See hear-
ings ( p. 1077.)
Michael J. McCarthy also testified that Quill liad solicited him
for membership in the Communist Party. (See hearings, p. 1079.)
Thomas H. O'Shea likewise testified that he had personally known
Michael Quill to be a member of the Communist Party,
According to the official minutes of the annual meeting of the Trans-
port Workers Union, held in October 1937, Quill had the following-
statement to make concerning his alleged connections with the Com-
munist Party :
Some others say, "I saw him reading the Daily Worker. Well, I read Englisli
very poorly, and it about the only language I read. The Daily Worker is printed
in iilnglish. If it was printed in Gaelic I would perhaps read it also because it
is a working man's paper. (See Exhibit No. 11.)
Another criticism is, "I am sure he is a member of the Communist Party."
I want to tell you that since the very day this union was started I have worked
with Communists and Socialists and Democrats and people of other nationalities
and political beliefs, and they have done an excellent job in building the organi-
zation to the stage of where we were able to come to Madison Square Garden as
APPENDIX PART V 1625
free transit workers. And the work of all these people has been much more
valuable than the sniping of a few narrow-minded critics. (See Exhibit No. 11.)
Micliael Quill's connections with various Communist-controlled or-
ganizations have been numerous. Elsewhere, the degree of Com-
munist control in these organizations will be discussed with the sup-
porting evidence.
Quill contributed an article to the December 1937 issue of Cham-
pion. (See Exhibit No. 12.) Champion was a publication of the
Young Communist League and of the International Workers Order.
At a mass meeting under the sponsorship of the Greater New York
Committee for Employment, in May 193S, Quill was one of the speak-
ers. (See Exhibit No. 13.) According to the Daily Worker's ac-
count of this meeting, the following Connnunist-controlled organiza-
tions were represented : American League for Peace and Democracy,
Workers Alliance, National Negro Congress, and Harlem Division of
the Communist Party. Exhibit No. 13 is from the Daily Worker.
May 18, 1938, page 4.
Li June 1939 an organization known as the Associated Blind, Inc.,
held its annual dance in the hall of the Transport Workers Union.
(See Exhibit No. 14.) The Daily Worker listed Quill among the
sponsors of the event, together with such well-known Communists and
Communist fellow-travelers as Max Bedacht, Granville Hicks, Donald
Ogden Stewart, and Jerome Davis.
In April 1939 Quill was a speaker at a mass meeting of the Manhattan
Citizens Committee. (See Exhibit No. 15.) A. Philip Randolph,
president of the National Negro Congress, ancl Ben Gold, avowed Com-
munist head of the International Fur Workers LTnion, were also among
the speakers. The American League for Peace and Democracy, the
National Negro Congress, and the Jewish People's Committee were
listed in the Daily Worker as organizations supporting the meeting.
Ben Gold and William Weiner, both nationally prominent members of
the Commimist Party, were president and secretary, respectively, of
the Jewish People's Committee (hearings, p. 622).
In December 1938 Quill wrote the International Labor Defense as
follows :
Aware of the very necessary and able worli done by the International Labor
Defense in behalf of organized labor throughout the past and preceding years, I
am happy to join with you in your annual Christmas Drive for labor's Neediest
Cases. I am urging all in our union and our affiliate organizations in the labor
movement, and I am asking all my friends personally to support the Christmas
Drive. I feel contident that whatever goal you have set for yourselves will be
achieved and that funds collected will go as has always been the case in the I. L. D.,
to very worthy fighters for the workers of America. (See Exhibit No. 17.)
In December 1938 Quill Avas a sponsor for a New Year's Eve ball of
the Non-Sectarian Committee for Political Refugees. (See Exhibit
No. 18.) Associated with him in the sponsorship of the ball were Marc
Blitzstein, Millen Brand, Malcolm Cowley, Lillian Hellman, Granville
Hicks, Genevieve Taggard, and Richard Wright. These seven persons
were also among the signers of ])ublicly released statement "in support
of the verdicts of the recent Moscow trials of the Trotskyite-Buk-
harinite traitors." (See Daily Worker, April 28, 1938, p. 4.)
In November 1938 Quill was a speaker at a mass meeting "to protest
Nazi atrocities." The meeting was held in Pittsburgh under the aus-
pices of the League for the Protection of Minority Rights and the
1626 UN-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA ACTIVITIES
American League for Peace and Democracy (See Exhibit No. 19.)
Ben Gold was also a speaker at the meeting.
In June 1938 Quill was a speaker at a meeting under the auspices of
the American Friends of the Mexican People. The principal speaker
of the occasion was V. Lonbardo Toledano. general secretary of the
Confederation of Mexican Workers. (See Exhibit No. 20.)
Quill is a sponsor of the Consumer-Farmer Milk Cooperative, Inc.,
together with Max Bedacht. of the International Workers Order, and
A. Philip Randolph, of the National Negro Congress. Rose Nelson is
a director of the organization. (See Exhibit No. 21.) Miss Nelson
is now an official of the International Workers Order and has been a
section organizer of the Communist Party. ( See Exhibit No. 27. )
The Daily Worker for December 20, 1938, announced that Quill
would be a speaker at a meeting under the auspices of the Progressive
Women's Council and the American League for Peace and Democracy.
(See Exhibit No. 16.) The Jewish People's Committee was also rep-
resented by a speaker at the meeting. The Progressive Women's
Council, of which Rose Nelson was once the head, has now merged with
the International Workers Order. (See Exhibit No. 29)
Quill is a member of the Labor Advisory Committee of Consumers
Union of United States, Inc. (See Exhibit No. 22.) Ben Gold and
Louis Weinstock, both well-known Connnunists, are also members of
this committee.
The American Labor Party, which Quill once represented on the
Council of the City of New York, withdrew its endorsement of Quill
on the ground that he refused to follow the policy of the American
Labor Party in its stand on the Soviet-Nazi pact. (See Exhibit
No. 24.) Exhibit No. 24 is from the New York Times, October 5,
1939.
Quill has been identified with the so-called Communist wing of the
American Labor Party. He addressed a mass rally at which Bern-
hard J. Stern was also a speaker. (See Exhibit No. 23.) Stern uses
the alias of Bennett Stevens in his work for the Communist Party,
and he is a professor at Columbia LTniversity. (See hearings, p. 4929.)
The so-called Communist wing of the American Labor Party is known
as the Progressive Committee to Rebuild the American Labor Party.
Among Quill's associates on this committee are Joseph Curran, Lillian
Hellman, Charles Hendley, Rockwell Kent, and Mervyn Rathborne.
(See Exhibit No. 25.)
THE LADIES AUXILIARY
The Ladies Auxiliary of the Transport Workers Union is affiliated
with the League of Women Shoppers. (See Exhibit No. 26.) In
records which the Special Committee on Un-American Activities ob-
tained at the headquarters of the Communist Party in Philadelphia,
the League of Women Shoppers was designated as a party organization.
The Ladies Auxiliary of the Transport Workers Union was also
affiliated with the Progressive Women's Council prior to the time the
latter organization was merged with the International Workers Order.
(See Exhibit No. 26.) Exhibit No. 26 is from the Transport Workers
Bulletin, March 1938, page 13. Rose Nelson, who was secretary of the
Progressive Women's Council (see Exhibit No. 28, from the Daily
Worker, July 23, 1938, p. 2), was organizer of section 15 of the Com-
APPENDIX PART V 1627
miiaist Party in New York in ID;]-!:. In the latter capacity. Miss Nel-
son was active in snpport of the taxicab drivers' strike, out of which
there was one of the begiiniings of the Transport Workers Union.
(See Exhibit No. 27.) Exhibit No. 27 is from the Dailv Worker,
March 30, 1934, page 3.
When the Progressive Women's Council merged with the Interna-
tional Workers Order in March 1939. Rose Nelson became an official
of the latter organization as head of the International Workers Order,
Citv Women's Department. (See Exhibit No. 29, Dailv Worker,
March 1, 1939, p. 3.)
The completely Communist control of the Progressive Women's
Council is reflected not only in Miss Nelson's leadershop of the organ-
ization but also in the fact that it merged with another Communist -
controlled group, the International Workers Order. Elsewhere, the
completely documented account of the Communist control of the Inter-
national Workers Order will be presented. At this place, evidence on
that point is confined to an article by Max Bedacht. (See Exhibit No.
30.) Bedacht 's article, which appeared in the Daily Worker for May
21, 1934, is headed '^Organize Workers' Children, or the Priests Will
Get Them.*' Bedacht stated that children in the International AVork-
ers Order who were over 9 years of age received the New Pioneer Maga-
zine free of charge. The New Pioneer Magazine for May 1934, taken
merely as a sample of its general propaganda, had the following to say :
Then, one fine day, you will chase out the bosses, the cops, and the landlords.
Like your comrades in the Soviet Union * * *. "With them you will make a
World Soviet Republic! (New Pioneer Magazine. May 1934, p. 21.)
One of the leaders of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Transport Workers
Union is Isobel Walker Soiile. She Avas co-author of the Union's
Guide for Ladies Anxiliaries. (See Exhibit No. 31.)
Isobel Walker Soule was listed in the Daily Worker as one of the
prominent guests present at a meeting in honor of Ella Reeve Bloor,
The article in the Daily Worker was captioned "Women C. P. Leaders
Honor Mother Bloor." (See Exhibit No. 32, Daily Worker, January
6, 1938, p. 3.)
Other connections of Isobel Walker Soule have been as follows:
(1) Chairman, American Committee for Friendship With the Soviet
Union (see Exhibit No. 33) ; (2) member. Citizens Defense Committee
for the Pickets at the French Consnlate (see Exhibit No. 34) ; (3)
speaker. League of American W^riters (see Exhibit No. 35) ; (4)
signer, open letter for closer cooperation with the Soviet Union ( see
Exhibit No. 36) ; (5) sponsor, Friends of the Abraham Lincoln Bri-
gade (see Exhibit No. 37) ; (6) national committee member. Interna-
tional Labor Defense (see Exhibit No. 38) ; (7) member editorial
council, Soviet Russia Today (see Exhibit No. 39, Soviet Russia To-
day, May 1940) ; and (8) member. National Committee for People's
Rights (see Exhibit No. 40).
TRANSPORT WORKERS UNION COUNSEL
Harry Sacher is counsel for the Transport Workers LTnion. ^Ir.
Sacher has been listed as a lecturer at the Communist Partv's Workers
School in New York. (See Exhibits Nos. 41-42.) Exhibits Nos. 41
and 42 are from the Dailv Worker, November 13. 1937, page 8, and
March 3, 1938, page 8.
1628 UN-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA ACTIVITIES
THE COMMUNIST PARTY ON CONCENTRATION
In July 1933 the Communist Party of the Unites! States adopted
a trade-union policy known as concentration. This policy was set
forth in a document called an open letter to all party members. It was
published in the Daily Worker for July 13, 1933, in a special supple-
ment.
The policy of concentration meant simply that the Communist
Party decided to specialize in the larger industrial areas of the United
States rather than to carry on work generally throughout the coun-
try. Excerpts from the open letter will serve to elucidate the policy
of concentration :
The entire work of the Party and the best forces of the Party were to be
directed first of all to building up and consolidating the Party and revolutionary
trade union movement in the most important industrial centers of the coun-
try * * *
Talk about defense of the Soviet Union and struggle against imperialist war
is nothing but empty phrases unless systematic work is carried out in the war
industry plants and in the ports * * *
Concentration of our work on the most important factories * * *
But the Party cannot carry out this task successfully unless at the same time
it establishes its base in the decisive big factories * * *
Thomas H. O'Shea testified before the Special Committee on Un-
American Activities that the Communist work of organizing the tran-
sit workers in New York grew out of the policy of concentration
enunciated in the open letter.
F, Brown, alleged by witnesses before the committee to be an Ameri-
can representative from the Communist International, wrote in the
Communist for September 1933 that Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit,
Chicago, and New York were concentration points in the strategy of
the Communist Party. (See Exhibit No. 43.)
Also in the September 1933 issue of the Communist, J. Peters wrote
that
The five concentration districts, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsbiu-gh, and
New York were assigned the special task of concentrating on altogether about
50 factories * * * (See Exhibit No. 44.)
Writing in the Party Organizer for March 1935 Louis Sass said :
After our Extraordinary Party Conference, we seriously undertook to carry
through the Open Letter and its central principle: concenti-ation. One of the
concentration points assigned to us by the District is the city traction, an industry
where thousands of American workers, hitherto untouched by our movement, are
organized into company unions ou the I. R. T. and B. M. T. systems. (See
Exhibit No. 45.)
Shortly after the publication of the open letter, Charles Krumbein,
now State secretary of the Communist Party in New York, wrote in
the Party Organizer, August-September 1933, as follows :
Another point I think we should consider for concentration is city transport.
Transport in all big cities plays a very important political role. I think it is a
field that we must concentrate on. (See Exhibit No. 46.)
By March 1936 the Communist Party was prepared to claim that
a transport workers' union had been built and led by its members. (See |
Exhibit No. 47.) *
An anonymous "secretary of the Transport Workers Union" wrote
in the Daily Worker that a strike of the transit workers would
"knock a number of bricks off the capitalist structure." (See Exhibit
No. 48.)
APPENDIX PART V 1629
Inasmuch as a very large number of the transit employees in New
York City are of Irish extraction, the Communist Party, according
to its own claims, began early to devise a special approach to these
Irish workers. (See Exhibits Nos. 49-50.) Exhibits Nos. 49 and 50
are from Party Organizer, August 1937, and April 1938, respectively.
Both the Daily Worker and the Transport Workers Bulletin have
featured the life story of the Irish revolutionist, James Connolly,
(See Exhibits Nos. 51-'53.) Exhibit No. 53 is from the Sunday
Worker, May 14, 1939. According to the testimony of Thomas
H. O'Shea, this was calculated to overcome the anti-Communist
sentiments which were prevalent among the Irish transit workers.
MAY DAY PARADES
The Transport Workers Union has regularly participated in the
May Day parades under the control of the Conmiunist Party. (See
Exhibit No. 54.) One of the tests for determining the degree of
Communist control in the trade-unions and other organizations is
participation in these parades which are under the direction of the
Communist Party.
DAILY "WORKER AND TRANSPORT W^ORKERS UNION BULLETIN
According to the testimony of Mr. O'Shea, the Transport Workers
Bulletin often borrowed matter from the Daily Worker. In two
exhibits attached to this summary, a cartoon by Burck is shown in
the Daily Worker (see Exhibit No. 56), and the identical cartoon
with the name of Burck removed is shown in the Transport Workers
Bulletin. (See Exhibit No. 55.) Exhibit No. 55 is from the Trans-
port Workers Bulletin, September 1934, page 7.
PROMPT PRESS
Mr. O'Shea testified that the first issues of the Transport Workers
Bulletin were paid for by the Communist Party.
The Transport Workers Bulletin for July 1934 bears the printers'
union label No. 209. (See Exhibit No. 59.) This label is leased
by the Allied Printing Trades Council to the Prompt Press (see
Exhibit No. 57), which in turn is a Communist Party institution.
The Prompt Press holds the furniture and fixtures of the Daily
Worker. (See Exhibit No. 58, from the New York Post, August 8,
1939.) Almost all of the job printing of the Communist Party is done
at the Prompt Press and bears the printers' union label No. 209,
(See Exhibits Nos. 60-62.)
THE TRANSPORT WORKERS UNION IN ALASKA
According to a recent issue of the Transport Workers Bulletin,
October 1939. page 4, the union has a "closed shoj:)" for "everything
on wheels" in Alaska. According to O'Shea, the union has a special
interest in Alaska because of its potential importance for air bases in
proximity to the Soviet Union. (See Exhibit No. 63.)

Transport Workers
Uoion Run by Four Leading Comniunists Working
Under Red Orders to Sovietize Transit lodostry. Plot
Revealed in Affidavit F'rom Deposed T. W. U. President,
a Former Communist.
The Transport Workers Union is
headed by four leading members of
the Communist party who are work-
ing under orders of the Reds to sovi-
etue the American transit industry.
This stateoient may appear start-
ling in the extreme. It is no exag-
geration, however, and is supported
by affidavits and indisputable facts.
In recent weeks the Transport
Workere have gotten a stranglehold
on New York city traction and taxi-
cab eonipanjes. They are at ' the
present time affiliated with the Com-
mittee for Industrial Organization.
Here are the four Communist ie
heads of the Transport Workers
Union;
Ml€}i8«J J. Qum, president of tis©
T. W. v.. who assumed this office at
the dictation of the Comnumist Par-
ty of the United States, succeeding
Thomas O'Shea, who was ordered by
the Communist Party late in 193^
to relinquish the office in favor of
Quill.
AiiKfin Dllloasrher}, alias Hojiran,
secretary of the T. W. U.
John 8iinto (an assumed name),
general manager of the T. W. U.
Thoraas WcMahosi, Brooklyn or-
ganiser for the T. W. 11.
O'Shea, the former president of
the Transport Workers, who since
hag renounced Communism, has
signed an affidavit naming these men
and their connections with the Red
party of Russia.
Referring to Quiil, Hogan, Santo
and McMahon, O'Shea declares:
■'During aJl this time I was well
acquainted with every one of these
men and I was a member of the
Communist Party of the U. S. A.
(Section of the Communist Interna-
tionale w-ith headquarters in Mos-
cow), District 2. Section 24, City of
New York, State of New York, and
each and every one of the above
mentioned was also a member of the
same t\)mmuni8t organization.
"Santo at the time was the organ-
izer of Section 15 of the Commu-
nist Party of the New York District
In the Mid-Bronx County."
O'Shea In his affidavit then goes
on to describe how the Communists
made Quill head of the Transport
Workers Union.

At one of 'Jw.- :5i'ssi«,iu.-< with lij.- Transport

Next the Tratsaport Worhers coraraissar*
tried to affiliate with the New Yoric lodge
of the .International Association of Maehl-

knew too much about the set-up, for they
.turned QuiU down. Later the three Reds
were able to get a charter direct from the
internatioaal headquarters of the Maebintsta
in Wa,shi«gton, giving them autonomy and
granting sperial conceasipns as to dues. etc.

Jit«Qaee Roomiun, noted Haitilnr po*t/|«^Skriter,
speskiag' at the banquet-reception held in hi* honor Wed-
nesday night *t the i87th St. YWCA, denounced the
imperialist war in Europe as another attempt of Nazi,
British and French imperialism to re-divide the world at
: the expexsse of millioas of exploited colonials. The even*
' wag under the auspices of the New York Chapter of the
Leagiia,,^!, Am^can Writers.
Roum&in called iipon all writers to enlist tbemaelves
in the cause of the persecuted Jews, Nejrroes and ail peo-
ple who are ground down under th» heel of aaf^rialism.
In paying tribute to the writer, who is sow exiled
, from his native land after f>ein|f sentenced to three years
: in prison for his struggles a^inst imperialist ex^oitatlon,
: Max Yergan, head of the Committee on African Affairs
; and vice-president of the National Negro Coap^ess, said:
[ "Mr. Roumain is the symbol of the fi^rht against im-

proposed hfMs before Confrpss and
th« newspaper c««si»l8Ti calling for
the seizure w jHunefuwe by Uvs

After expoelBg the slwtxJweas
speech of Charles E. Ltndberfh,
mouthpiece of Wall Street, who
descarJ!>ed the Western Henitsphere
»s the natural domain of the
United States, Dr Efron deci»r«i;
"It S» Uimecessaxy to point out
the thrp«tenin« tmpUc»tlonx of
these developments. The suggested
sefcEure or p^srchase of tlie Europeac
posewior^ is typieaJ of the tradi-
UonaJ Imperialistic polliry of dealing
with people as if they w-re cattle
or merchandise, yurthermore, these
same prep<Mals, ta well as Lind-
bergh's scurritouB remarks consti-
tute an unspeakable affront to the
Nesrro and Indian peoples of the
Americas, wht. comprise a great
portion of the population of the

"The ominous trend just anen-
tloned." he continued, "In oonnee-

reietrtcatly opposed. To this end «e thouU! Sike to stress
tien basic points m whivh N>\ict vcKulivni dittrrv Sundamen-
tally jlrom totalitarian lasci*ni,
i 1. I'he Soviet Union coritmwtrs as alv^aiv to be a con-
sistcrit t>ulvvark against nar and ag^fessum, And worits
unceasingly tor the goal ot a peaceful international order
fit A.
2. It has fiinswwEPiS rscial Msd wuriooaJ |w*j»iSice witH-

5. It hm built tfee tnsde uniors*, in whith almost 24,000,-

society.
6. The Soviet Unioe h*8 emsncipased wosnan «r>d she
jatmly, and has deseit^ied an advanced system ai child care.
7. FrofB the view-point of ctjlturaS freedom, the differ-
ence betwe*t! she Soviet Umon and she Fascist countries is
most stnkitsg. The Soviet Union hiss effected one of the
most lar-reaching cuiturtii and educational advances in all
history and among a pc^lation which at she start was
alsnos! shree-lourtl^ iilitetste. Those writers and think-
ers »ho« books have been butt>ed by the Naats are pub-
lished in the Soviet Union, The besr literature frorn
Hoiner to THomaa Mann, the best thought from ,\ri»tot!e
to I^nm, 1$ available to the masses of the Soviet people,
vvbo themseivei ac ivelv fatticipate m she crestion of cul-

8. It hav replaced the myths »nd superstitions of old
Russia with she truths assd techniques of experimental sci-
ence, evtendinj; scientific procedures to every held, from
economic>i to public health. And it hsus tnade science stnd
scsentihc -studs ai adahle to the raasa of the people,
9. The Soviet L'nion cotisiders political dictatorship a
transitional form and has shown a steadily expanding
deitKicrai-'i m evetv sphere. Its epoch-making new Con-
stitution guarantee* Soviet citizen* universal suffrage, civil
liberties, the right to empiovment, to leisure, to tree edu-
cation, so free medical care, to mat«rial securitv m sickness
and old 2,ge. to esjuaiity of the se\es in all helds oS acti* it\,
and to ecfuasitv of all racrs and nationalities.
10. In relation to Ru.ssia's pass, the counttv Has been
advancing raptdli along the niad of tnatrrial and cultural
progre-v m wais that the .-^merR-an people can understand
and appreciate.
The Soviet Union has an economic system different from

place, and mors jprtkularly, where we started to concentrate scant
tlmt ago, we lacked jf5cmstency.
WliOe leading hundreds of struggles for the daily demands of
the working class we did not succeed (we shall deal with the reason
later) in raising the consciousness, especially of the thousands of new
members, to our fundamental task, the building of a ma^ prole-
tarian Party rooted in the factories.
Our laxity In arousing the lower units, the shop nuclei, to the
task that they should perform, weakened the persktencc in our con-
centration actiwties, gave to our efforts at concentration a mechan-
ical form expressed m the phra»t **Wc tried hard but we, did not
succeed."
Here we must stre^ again : not that we did not know the method
of concentration, but that the great role of concentration in the basic
industries was not fully understood by the whole -Party.
Certainly we don't lack experiences in cg^n^j^^^^a^jj^gjl^ They
are here undtr our very eyes. Certainly the Party districts of Pitt^_
bur^k Cleveland, |^,€||;<^|. Chkago, New^^^]|gffk are rich with them.
'Wut the trouble is that they are not studied, consequently, they are not
popularized as a means of strengthening the whole Party. -We
learn very little from the experiences of the Bolshevik Party and
other sections of the Communfet International; we learn very
little from our own experiences.
So we discover already the fundamental reasons that hindered us
in the past from building the Party into a mass proletarian Party,
and in doing so we indicate also the way to overcome these' hin-
drances.
However, the reasons pointed out ant not the only ones. There
are still other weaknesses that must be overcome, other problems
and tasks to be solved that will enable us to carry out the Open
Letter in practice.
These arc the prcAlems and tasfcs closely connected, inter-re-
lated and rising out of the process of concentration. Upon their
prompt solution depends the tempo In building a mass Party.
These arc the problems of strengthening the leadership of the
Party as a whole j of developing new cadres and correctly utilizing
the old; of buOding sections and developing sectksn leadership, of
developing local leaders in the industrial centers, of collective work
from the top down and vice versa, of inner democracy, of dsciiS-
slons which raise the consciousne^ of the Party toward its taste, of
planned work and control, of cutting down the numerous inner,
meetings that hinder the concrete mass work, of systematic rconait-
ing, etc, etc.

in the stnisrgle against the offcHNive of the bourgetusje and against
the imperialist war and to tiriT^lv root itself in the dcci>ivc indu^trv
hv means of solid jx-rsonal contact v^ith the workers."
Use above examples shov^' that the Part\' did n!)t tullv under-
stand this central task. Hie exi>tmg shop nuclei in tfic h.isic in-
dustr\- dill not grow. Ninety pcTccnt of tfuwf who joined the Panv
were unemplovcd, and a very small pTcentagc cif the empltned
workers came through direct activsts' in and arountl the factor}'.
An analvsis <'f the membership conifxisition shows that only 3 per-
cent are steel workers, a little above 5 pi-rcent miners, not quite 3
percent automtibile workers, only 1 percent marmc workers, 1.3
percent railroad workers, .3 percent chemical workers..
Onlv 28 percent of the ennployed members, or 7 percent of the I
total membership of the Party, are working in mines or factories
employing 500 or more workers.
The Opeh Letter very sharply states: '
"It is idle chatter to t.i!k about the revolutionizing of the work-
ing- fbss by the P.ir{y tinlessithe Party conquers a firm base for it-
self among the miners, metal, steel workers, auto, niarinc and tex-
tilr workers it is nothing but phrase-mongering to talk about the
building of the Party and the revolutionary trade unions without
doing this among the important -bodies 'of workers, in the big fac-
tories, in the important industrial sections,"
At the Extr.iordinary Party Conference, the task was set to ,
root the Party in the decisive elements of the working chi.'is in the
b.asic industries. Emphasis was again placed on the necessity of •■
concentration and the Conference concretely laid down the plan '
for the next peritni. The five concentration districts, Chicago,
Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and New Yt>rk, were assigned the ■
special task of concentrating on altogcfher about 50 factories in
the steel, mining, marine and automobile industries, besides those
specific industries and problems which the districts have (stockyard, ^

zation interested sincerely in l>ettering the conditions of
the workers and In protecting their Jobs.
At the same time the union Issued leaflets that were,
in the main, written by the men themselves, about the
conditions existing in the shop, and how best to remedy
these conditions. Our forces in the concentration unit sin-
gled out the most ciass-consdous and active workers. Thes*-
we approached to Join the Party. In the shop we had, by this
time, 25 to 30 workers who had signed up with the union.
Finally we were successful in recruiting one worker into the
Party. We explained a number of things to this worker.
He arranged a little gathering at the home of one cf his
friends at which two workera were present. The section
sent a leading comrade down to this gathering, who out-
lined to the workers the role of the Party. He was suc-
cessful in convincing them to join the Party, so that we
had a nucleus in the shop of three members. Fi-om then on
we tried to place the leadership and the responsibility in the
hands of^ the Party members on the inside, with the con-
centration unit members helping to visit contacts, conduct
open air meetings, distribute shop papers and Pally Workers
at the ;^op gates.
We have kept to the system of organization mentioned
above, namely, the groups. The men in charge of the group.^
were responsible for the collection of dues, the holding of
meetings, etc. and they constitute the leading committee of
the shop. At all times, both the union and the section paid
the utmost attention to the individuals that , comprised the
leadership of the shop. We have spent hours in conversa-
tion with the comrades and the workers who were genuinely
Interested in building the organization.
The bosses have done their best to raise the "red scare"
and to brand the organization as Communist. This was met
squarely. First the C. P. expMned what Communism stands
for. In the meantime, the union organization pointed out
clearly that the union is composed of all workers, among
whom there are workers of various affiliations, that the
union do^ not exclude anyone, but welcomes everyone, it
was pointed out that the "red scare" is used by the bosses
to prevent oi^ganizatlon among the men and make them
accept the company union. The men accepted the explana
tions of the union and the leaflets and bulletins issued by
the Party nucleus. The union kept growing. A great num-
ber of the workers enrolled were activlz^. Of course, al!
sorts of schemes were Invented to dyivert the attention of
the men from i^al orgaailzatlon and struggle. First a self-
appointed shop-committee sprang into existence, with quite
an Influence among tibUB men, promising things such as
betterment of conditions, shorter hours, etc. They did not
fulfill their promise and the union was quick In discredit-

tog the group. The pension plan was next introduce*! by
the company. Our union took up this question, analyzed it
carefully and fouiid it to be very detrimental to the men.
We decided to fight it. A very careful expose of this plan
resulted In its rejection on the part of the workers. Hun-
dreds began to write in to the company, demanding that
their names be taken off the pension list. The authority
and standing of the union as a result of this careful and
correctly waged struggle increased considerably.
However, there were still some illusions among the men
as to the possibility of turning the company union into a
fighting body, while the members of our union have been
in favor of deserting the company union completely as
wmething that cannot be utilized for strengthening organi-
zation in the shop. Our stand on the question was that
they should remain inside of the company union for the
present, that they should participate in the elections, and
that they should utilize the company union as the legal
expression of the sentiment of the workers in the shop.
The elections, which were not held at all but were
merely appointments made by the company, exposed the
character of the company union completely. This was par-
ticularly demonstrated with the acceptance by the delegates
of the new agreement which has failed to give back the
promised 10 per cent wage-cut taken from the men two
years ago. At the company union meeting the agreement
was rejected by the men. In the meantime, this opportunity
was seized upon to begin to bring the Transport Workers
tXnion into the open. The first open meeting of the -anion
was called with the most important people in the shop who
were membera of the union. It was a highly successful
meeting. There it was decided to call another meeting of
aU of the union members in the shop. The organization of
this meeting was the i^sjKJnsUblty of those present.
In the meantime, another company union meeting was
caMesd and the question of the Transport Workers Union was
opeaaly raised by the workers. They voted non-confidence in
the -delegates of the company union and told them plainly
that if they wanted to stick with the workers they had
better get Into title only union that really represents the
interests of the men, and is in a position to fight the com-
pany for better conditions. Tliey al^> succeeded in electing
& delegate to the Washington Congr^s for Unemployment
and Social Insurance from the company union local. The
mc^^kig of the delegate, however, was sabotaged by the
oentmi delegates council. AH of these things served to
a»>aa6 the anger of the workers. i&K>n after this company
nstai meeting, the se<K>nd meeting of the rank-and-file union
at the sikop was called. It was a meeting of several hun^
dfeed 'e!«>rk«r»~-all union m^n. At this meeting a decision

HOW AND WHERE TO

Ex<tTp;< from Specih of Charles Krumln'm, N. Y. District

J^'^ONCr-NTRATION m connecdon with mass work is the b*:'-

unucri-^nm.ite the difficulttcs. th<\t wc \vj!l have m breaking with our
f-'.Kst metluxis. W'c can see from wljere %ve arc entrenched in New
\ ork tliat we have never taken concentration seriously. We have
worked hard, being everywhere and therefore generally being no-
wSiere, We must understand that to the extent that we are sue-
ces>ful m gaming unportant helds, we will have tremendous effect
on uthir fields that we do not concentrate on. That is a point
wha-h mubt he stressed.
Now m regard to concentration on the industries that are inj-
po:_tant; Marme f:r<t jnj jun-tnixt for New York City. New York
Luv IS tlse higgc>t ptirt in the world. It is nut only a question hcc
of the number of workers m the industry; the political importance
nui^t I'c seen by us. And hghtmg the war danger docs not mean
ior UN only mass meetings. It means work m the basic industries
that arc so clt^sc to war, mdustnes that will be decisive in war.
Our Approach in the Past
\X"hat his been our approach in the past? We take a comrade,
assign hiin t<i the wacertront and consider the problem solved. But
ihi: real problcsn is to break down the mechanical separation of
iKiTiv and n'j.i-s w.irk, mobilizmg the l*arty members on the watc*-
tri>nr no rii.u we nialr-plv the efforts of anv specialist we send down.
Next, nietaL Metal is vcrv impo.rt.int tor us. Although the com-
lades in the Metal Workers InduNtruiI Union have dune gotxJ work,
thev b.T.e >*i.>f vet d'HM' any important concentration. For example,
we had a comrade in Broi4:i\n where a section of this basic industry
Is I.H"atfd, and bec.iUNC of strikes m little shops here and there tint
car.u- i:}' we pulled htm out, kept hitn out for four or five weeks,
aiid bv the time he rerurned tljose we had worked %vith had no
tuttluT conhdcnce in us. If v^e tnean concentration seriously, then
we nuist sec t'sat our comrades stay put.

Another point I think we should consider for concentration is city
transport. Transport in all big cities plays a very important
political role. I think it is a field that we must concentrate on. We
have nothing there yet. In addition to concentrating on transport
we can use the election campaign that we are now entering to put
forward the proper issues, connecting the question of low fare, as it
aiTects the workers generally, with the conditions of the transport
workers.
Now! want to state that on the question of concentration the
District leadership must set the pace. Each and every one of us
on the staff must give his major attention to a point of concentration.
I don't mean the whole industry;^ I mean picking out certain points
of concentration within the industries. We must $tt the pace.
We Must Guide the Sections
Section leadership: we have got to give very serious consideration
to this. What is the situation today in our district? Today we
hnd a flow from the sections to the District — ^thc section organizers
come in, we take up problems with them, they go back to the sec*
tion. This is not the way to develop section leadership. Systems*
tically, regularly, we must go down to the section committee, take
up their problems with them, so that the ^hole section leadership
is developed, in place of bringing one comrade into the center and
developing only him as a result. Furthermore, we must immediately
review our entire leadership, our entire activity in the sections; %ee
who is engaged in mass work and bring these comrades into the
section leadership. On the other hand, some of the comrades now
in the leadership must get into mass work, and this must be done
simultaneously.
Unemployed Meitmbers Responsible for Unemployed Work
What da we find in the unemployed situation? I venture to say
that the percentage of unemployed in the Party is greater, becauie
of the victimization, etc., than it is in the mass as a whole, yet not
over 10 percent of our unemployed comrades participate in un-
employed work. Our unemployed comrades do not consider unem-
ployed work as their mam field of work. They are not working, they
are off all day; the unemployed likewise are not working and are
off all day. The opportunities are tremendous and we must see to
it that every unemployed comrade has as his main, task the un-
employed work.
The same applies, of course, to other fields. We have a situation
in the trade unions where less than ^0 percent of our comrades
participate in the fractions and less than 10 percent arc active
in the trade unions.

James Connolly — He Gave His Life in the Struggle for Economic and National
Freedom
'•Then carried him from his bed in a stretcher to the aDihulaiice aitd
drove him. to Kilnuiinham. Jail. They carried the stretcher from the am-
bulance to the jail yard. Then put him in a chair. . . .He was very brave
and cool. . . . I asked him: 'Will you pray for the men who are about to
shoot your and he aiiswered: 'I will say a prayer for all brave men who
do their duty.' . . . and then they shot him."
James Connolly was perhaps the greatest labor leader who ever stepped into
the turbulent pages of Irish History. All of his busy life was devoted to the
organization and uplifting of the industrial underdog, the exploited wage slave
and the forgotten man of Ireland. The anniversary of his execution by the British
crown forces after the 1'936 rising, is observed in labor circles throughout the
world.
Born in Clones, County Monaghan, Ireland, in 1870 of poor parents, Connolly
spent the first ten years of his life in Ulster. From there he went to Glasgow,
Scotland, where at the age of eleven or thereabouts, he secured a .iob in a bakery
shop. After a ten year struggle for existence in this city, he returned to Dublin
which was to be the main scene of activities from then on.
immortal writHngs
Always studiously inclined and a great lover of books, Connolly, although he
was unable to afford a formal education, was nevertheless able to make speeches
and write extensive articles after a few years in the schools of toil and experience.
The fruit of his studies in his "Labor in Irish History," the classic in its field.
Other powerful books on labor are his "Reconquest of Ireland" and "Labtn-,
Nationality and Religion."
All of Connolly's voluminous writings emphasize the necessity and value of
industrial unionism as the form of as.sociation to be adopted by all classes of
workers in their battle for better conditions. In his lecturesi in Dublin, Belfast
and Cork, and during his short visit to America in 1903, he constantly reiterated
the advantages of all the workers in a given industry being united into one
comprehensive union.
In 1910 James Connolly became an early member and active organizer of the
Irish Transport and General Workers LTnion in Dublin. He became Secretary to
the Transport Workers and spent most of his working hours to help wield it into
a powerful and militant body.
LEADS TRANSPORT WORKERS
The progress of Connolly and his co-workers in organizing the men in the
Dublin industries, and the success of the new gospel of industrial unions began
to alarm the Dublin emplo.vers, and in 1913 the latter combined to stage one of
the longest and most tragic lock-outs in labor history. The attitude and inten-
tions of the employers during this eight-month lockout can best be described by
quoting from George Russell's famous letter to them : "You determined deliber-
ately, and in cold anger, to starve out one third of the population of this city, to
break the manhood of the men by the sight of the suffering of their wives and
the hunger of their children. ... It remained for the twentieth century and
the capital city of Ireland to see an oligarchy of four hundred masters deciding
openly on starving one hundred thousand people, and refusing to consider any
solution except that fixed by their pride. . . ." And, we may add. their greed.
The immediate results of the lock-out struggle were indecisive. Connolly viewed
it as a "drawn battle.'' While the employers did not recognize the Union, they
were compelled to recognize the individual members who remained loyal to it, and
the.v clung to their "right" to hire free laborers, or scabs. The most enduring
result of the lock-out was a purifying and regeneration of the Irish labor move-
ment, and an even more intensive organizational activit.v which in the ensuing
years were finally to win for the Transport Union recognition from the employers
and its permanent establishment as a powerful organization.
APPENDIX PART Y 1705
The outbreak of the World War found Ireland's foremost labor champion
busily engaged organizing and rebuilding the workers' morale after the struggle
of 1913. Leading the harassed workers, editing a labor paper, helping the
cause of women and hungry children, engaged in building up the Citizen Army,
fighting the obstacles constantly placed in his path by government ofiicials.
Connolly found more than plenty of hard work to accomplish.
DIED FOR LIBEETY
Connolly's attitude towards the European catastrophe was epitomized in the
big sign he had nailed up outside the historic Liberty Hall. The sign was taken
down a few days later by British military authorities and no wonder, for it
read, "We serve neither King nor Kaiser, but Ireland." From 1914 onward,
Connolly was one of the prime movers in the movement which was to culminate
in the heroic insurrection of Easter Week, in INIay, 1916.
Connolly's task on that memorable Easter Monday was to take over and hold
the General Post Office in Dublin, and this building, under the shadow of the
Nelson Monument, was the scene of a gallant but hopeless fight that lasted
from Monday until Friday.
Connolly was under no illusions as to the success of the fight. "We are going
out to be slaughtered," he had remarked, during the week previous to the
rising. He did believe, however, and subsequent history proves he was right,
that a national and labor spirit would arise in his country, and that instead of
just a few realists like himself, and a few idealists like Patrick Pearse, there
would be a whole people to fight the cause of economic and national freedom.

Mike Quill Urges Irish to Honor St. Patrick by Rallying for Anti-Fascist
Unity in U. S.
By Edward McSorley
New York's Irish and Irish American's march today to honor the "glorious
Apostle and dear Saint of our isle upon whom the poor children bestow a
sweet smile."
And where, asks Michael J. Quill, City Councilman and International presi-
dent of the Transport Workers Union, will they go when they leave Fifth
Ave. ; when they leave St. Patrick's Cathedral, where His Eminence Patrick
Cardinal Hayes will review the thousands of marchers?
"They go back where they came from," says Councilman Quill, "back to the
slums of the West Side, East Side and the Bronx. They'll go back to the lines
of the unemployed. Their brief hour on Fifth Avenue will be over for another
year."
Councilman Quill, Kerryman who fought in the ranks of the Irish Republican
Army and who has been fighting the battles of the transport workers in New
York, will be marching. He will be among the members of the City Council
as the Board of Aldermen did before is, which turned out each year to pay
tribute to the patron Saint of the Irish people, Irish and American-born both.
ST. PATRICK A PEOPLE'S SAINT
"St. Patrick," says Quill, "is a people's saint. He preached to the people of
Ireland and it is the people of Ireland and those of Irish blood in this country
who honor him today."
"For many years in New York," he said, "the Iri.sh people have had their
half-a-day on Fifth Avenue. They turned out in great force to honor St.
Patrick. Dearer than any of the other saints to the Irish people St. Patrick
is honored in New York as he is in probably no other city in the woi-ld.
"It was the pennies, nickels and dimes of the Irish immigrant which went
into the building of the cathedral on Fifth Ave. in honor of his name. They who
had little to give are they who built the cathedral, undoubtedly one of the
finest churches in New York.
1706 UN-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA ACTIVITIES
"St. Patrick's Day this year," Quill said, "finds the Catholic people of Ger-
many, Austria and in many parts of Spain writhing under the crushing heel
of Fascism.
APPEALS TO CATHOLIC YOUTH
"It is a day on which in America we must appeal to the Catholic youth
here to realize that it is only their unity with the working class and student
youth that they will prevent the spread of fascism to this country.
"It is a day on which to warn them that the democracy oa which the Catholic
Church can live in the United States today can be preserved and extended only
if they who form a great and important section of that democracy, are ready
to unite with the rest of the youth of the country.
"We have seen in Germany that the Nazis first directed their religions
attacks against Jews. It didn't take long for them to try to crush the Protestant
Church and the indignities to which the Catholic priesthood has been sub-
jected under Hitler have been almost without parallel. How many hundreds
of priests and monks have been arrested in the Nazi campaign to smash the
church : How many nuns have been forced to flee the borders of the Saar and
other parts of Germany.
"Catholics the world over will never forget that it was Hitler's Nazis war-
planes which bombed Guernica, the Holy City of that devout Catholic people,
the Basques and blasted it off to a shambles.
"Today the mailed fist of fascism is tightening its grip on Austria. It is
again first the Jews who are .subjected to the lash and the concentration camp.
But just as surely as it happened in Germany, the Catholics will not be long
after them. Already von Shirach, the Nazi youth leader, has begun his con-
fiscation of Catholic property, already the Catholic organizations have begun to
be attacked."
Quill paid tribute to the Irish-American trade union leaders of past years
who, like Tom Mooney, fought to build a progressive trade union movement
in the United States.
"These men were fighting the same fight," he said, "that Irish-American
Catholics today, like John Brophy of the CIO, Francis Gorman of the textile
workers and my friend Joseph Curran of the National Maritime Union are
fighting today.
"While the Irish Catholics of New York line Fifth Ave. today to watch the
parade of their own thousands who honor St. Patrick their own democracy is
being threatened by the Tory Liberty League forces of reaction in this country."
Quill bitterly assailed the Tammany politicians who gave the Irish Fifth
Ave. for a half day on the ITth of March and forgot about them for the rest of
the year until the time came around again to get their votes.
NOTHING SACRED TO TAMMANY
"Nothing is sacred to Tammany," he declared, "St. Patrick or any other saint.
Tammany has been in the habit for many years of marching up Fifth Ave. in
the name of the Irisli and Irish-American people of New York.
"Fifth Ave. was Irish for an afternoon. Then back the paraders went to
their bad housing, to the firetraps, the sunless tenements. Back they went for
another year. And Tammany made the housing laws that kept them in the
slums. Tammany put its silk hat and its shamrocks away for another year.
"When election day came around, though, Tannnany was on the job again.
Out after the votes of the Irish to whom they had given the use of Fifth Ave.
on St. Patrick's Day.
A MAN OF THE PEOPLE
"The Irish proudly march up Fifth Ave. today in honor of the man of the
people, St. Patrick, whose day they celebrate. A man of the people as was He
in whose name he spoke. One of their own people.
"They will proudly pass in review at the great cathedral they built in his
name.
"When they go back where they came from, back to the slums and the relief
stations, and" that's where many of them will go, as they have been going year
after long year, they will go with a new determination.
APPENDIX— PART V 1707
WILL FIGHT FOR UNITY
"They won't wait for Tanunany to come arouucl on Election Day with
promises. They will go back to wipe out those slums. They will know that to
wipe out these slums they will have to unite. They will have to unite not
only their own ranks, but the ranks of all the people. And the unity of the
Catholic, the Jew and the I'rote.stant will be as close as the three leaves of the
shamrock that St. Patrick held in his hand when he preached to the people of
Ireland."
James Connolly
James Connolly, leader of the Irish Transport Workers Union and Com-
mandant-in-chief of the Citizens' Army, gathered his forces on St. Patrick's
Day, 1916, for the last "test mobilization" before he led them into the streets
on Easter Monday for the first armed uprising against the imperialist war of
1914-1918.
The rising began on April 24 and by April 29, the gallant bands, hopelessly
outnumbered, had been forced to surrender. On May 12 Connolly was taken
on a stretcher to Kilmainham Prison. He had been wounded in the legs and
was unable to walk. At dawn British soldiers carried him into the yard and
lifted him into a chair facing the firing squad.
Connolly, who had spent several years in America as a labor organizer,
during which time he published a paper, "The Harp," was the author of several
books and pamphlets on the Irish question. Among them are "Labor in Irish
History," "The Reconquest of Ireland," "The Axe to the Root," "Erin's Hope:
The End and The Means," and "Labor Nationality and Religion."

Th« aid agreement is J>out to expire baf) mt the !. R, T. m well as &n the
B. M. T. and the "representativet" and "delegates'" are busy "negotitUin^ with
the eampankf.
How are '^negotiaikms" conducted?
Well, in one case we kf^ow thai Mr. Eagan, ofiicid of the B. M. T., proposed
,,<r grmtp of representm*es that the present agreement shdl amtinm {that is,
contisiue the 10 per cent cut) and if SO every "representative" wUl be rewarded^
with the round sum of 000. Seeing scrme slight opposition he. proposed the
return of 2 per cent out of the 10 per cent cui.
On the 1. R. T. the expiring of the oid agreement is deeply hidden m a
ecmipir^y of silence.
For the transit companies and their lackeys, the company union 0§ieids, the
less the men know the better. It would not be so easy to -put crver a new setio^
if the tens of thousands of transport workers would KNOW THAT THEUR
FATE IS BEING DECIDED UP ON. The I. R. T., far instance, seherfS^t no
doubt. So cheat the men out of the return of the 10 per cent wage cut by mam>-
pulations with the pension fund.
Our job, the fob of every L R. T. and B. M. T. worker is to smash this
eattspiraey of silence, brtbery and scheming. DEMAND AND AGITATE FOR
THE FOLLOWING DEMANDS of the Transport Workers Union:
(a) Immediate, unconditional return of the 10 per cent cut,
{h) Increased wages to meet the rising cost of living
(c) Introduction of the 40-48 hour week — -without reduction in weekly
tmnmnt of pay.
(4) A guaranteed MINIMUM weekly pay of ^0.
(«) AU workers shall be etigjMe for pension at half pay after 25 years
service. PenHon fund to be fully covered by the comp^my.
{i) No speed up, no lay-offs, safe and sanitary working conditions end abcii-
tkm of the spy system,
(g) Two Weeks yaealion with full pay each year.
(e) Recognition of shop artd depot committees and the Transport Workert
Union,
Agitate that these demands shdl be placed before the companies. No «*-
tlementj.no new agreement withowt comem mni direct vote of ali smpbyws*. Only

One third of the nation lives in houses that are not fit to live
in. This is especially true in Hew York, Your vofte can help to
tear down the slums and to build decent low cost housing Cor th^
thousands of Nev^? York families foued to live in unsanitary fire^
traps.
V. PROTECTION FOB CHni>REN~™-We , want free clinic^
established to help guard the health of children m low-income
groups. Baby clinics to help our mothers bring up healthy boys
and girls. We want nurseries where working mothers can have
their children cared for, and more playgrounds for the kids. We
want more schools, more teachers, and smaller classes. ;
VL WOUm WANT PEACE™- Think of the women in
Spain, China and Czechoslovak^. Do you want to hear the roar
of planes and see your baby killed by fascist bombs? Of course
not. Yet the international gangsters, the Hitlers, Mussolmis, and
Mikados. can be stopped only by the collective action of all peace-
loving, democratic states and peoples. By our refusing to ship
them the materials for murder. By our boycotting of all fascist
goods — Made in Germany, Made in Italy, Made in Japan — includ-
ing the important support of Japanese armies — silk stockings.
We Communists know that it is capitahsm that breeds poverty
and war, unemployment, depressions. We believe that under
capitalism we can never be sure of decent living conditions and
security for all. This is possible ONLY UNDER SOCIALISM.
where the people own the factories, mines, land, houses and natural
resources. I
But until the MAJORITY of the American people are con-
vinced that socialism is the only permanent solution, we Commu-
nists together with the forward-looking, progressive men and
women fight for better conditions NOW! We want a better life
NOW!
